Could you please elaborate on the technical feasibility of merging Namecoin with Bitcoin? Given the differences in their respective blockchains and CORE functionalities, would it be possible to seamlessly integrate them, perhaps through the utilization of sidechains or atomic swaps? What challenges would arise in such an integration, and how might they be overcome? Additionally, would such a merger enhance the overall value proposition of both cryptocurrencies, or would it introduce unnecessary complexity? Clarifying these aspects would help inform the decision-making process for potential investors and enthusiasts alike.

Both Bitcoin and Namecoin have a limited supply of 21 million coins. This scarcity helps maintain the value and stability of these cryptocurrencies.

Merge-mining Namecoin along with Bitcoin is an efficient way for miners to diversify their holdings, as they can generate rewards from two separate cryptocurrencies.
